It only does a fraction of what magit does. I just use it for scrolling though the commit history, occasionally searching messages, and it's my tool of choice for staging/unstaging hunks. It's the only tool I use to complimen

While it won't be to everyone's taste, NakeyJakey has a rather in-depth video about Rockstar's game design and how it falls short in some ways. I loved RDR2 but the missions were definitely the weakest part. Exploring the w

I use tig daily. I've never used anything I like as much for quickly browsing through commits in a repository or staging individual hunks.

These days you don't even need a grid library. You can build an entire layout in a handful of lines of CSS with CSS Grid. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/CSS_Grid_La... It's we

Well, they were disabled in the first version of GNOME 3 (2011) and you had to jump through hoops to re-enable them. I think from that it's clear they're not intended to be used.

> The desktop icons and click-and-drag shortcuts got removed a few years ago. This is a GUI workflow that I've been using on Windows, MacOS, Atari OS, Amiga OS, going back to the 1980s. Gone. Gnome hasn't had desktop icons for

This. The major risk isn't losing to SEO, it's that the shady operators pay for ads that appear above search results. Lots of people don't realise they're ads and not the official service. Google didn't really do mu

The sites that sit on gov.uk are usually either: * transactional services - those that let a person do a task, like applying for a driving licence or registering a trademark * information services - a collection of guidance on a subject, li

It does. Google treats gov.uk and nhs.uk sites as authoritative sources and ranks accordingly. We typically pay no consideration to SEO on non-campaign sites. It doesn't stop ads from sneaking in above the results though. There's

Stow is the answer as far as I'm concerned. It's been around forever, it's standard, available in every package manager, the defaults just work. I use it in combination with a make to automate the setup of a new install.

I really love my X100F. I shoot RAW+JPEG but 99% of the time just use the JPEG directly. The film simulations are great and the whole process is so stress free.

That's a good point. Asus usually say two major Android versions but as 13 is on the brink of release, it might be a shorter window than usual.

I think the new Zenfone 9 might be what you're after. One handed size (5.9"), almost stock Android, flagship specs, decent cameras, headphone jack. I'd be buying one if my phone died today. https://www.asus.com&#x2

My desktop computer doesn't sleep properly thanks to the Nvidia driver. All my computers worked fine for years and I definitely should have done more research before "upgrading".

The fun part is the design system backlog[0]. There is an absolute wealth of information in there, along with plenty of opinions for designers in various departments, feedback from rounds of user research, alternative approaches to common p

I use kitty with tmux all day every day and haven't run into any problems that affect me. The only thing I'm aware of that doesn't work is kittens inside tmux.

I like to lowercase mine so bin and projects don't look weirdly out of place. Thankfully it's totally customisable. https://github.com/peteryates/dotfiles/blob/master/xdg/.conf...

I agree, I think the fact that the standard libraries are really similar is a huge help for people transferring.

ViewComponent is a nobrainer for me on every Rails project. I even wrote a library of them for our design system, it's worth its weight in gold.

Even in Google Calendar they're not ideal. And the 'create an appointment wherever you click' and 'click the screen outside of the modal to close it' features don't get along.

I was a Pathogen user for a long time, from about 2009-2020. It was a total gamechanger. I'd still use it except for the fact that with vim-plug I can more easily keep my config under version control. git submodules are a hassle.

Tree sitter is amazing. It even works really fast on huge minified files.

Sorry I missed this reply. I tend to usually have full window panes for most tasks and then introduce others ad hoc when necessary, usually running scripts or testing code I'm working on in a repl. I don't do anything too fancy.

I used Awesome WM for years but now use GNOME exclusively. It looks great, works intuitively, isn't resource heavy and with Wayland is super smooth. I used to tile terminal windows but now do everything in tmux. I spend 95% of my day i
